  • Create more visual interest by mixing different textures of scrapbooking paper within your wreath design
  • Use a pencil to lightly sketch a circle as a guide for placing your wreath elements
  • Save small die-cut scraps for future projects or to fill in any gaps in your wreath design
  • Consider adding a light mist of metallic spray to your die cuts for added shimmer
